Asked By:shambrig in Seattle, WA

I got a light peel, one layer of the blue radiance peel. Same day it was just light pink. Second day it was fine and super clear. Third day cheeks were red, swollen and noticed raised bumps. Felt and looked like sun bed burn, which can cause bumps. Fourth day bumps spead, but less red. Bps look like little flesh colored bumps. Is this normal? I was told I would have no down time. I have great skin and never get acne.
